Sorry guys had a manic couple of days, problem when you work shifts.
Ed I got your route ideas the first one sounds very good. I'm yet to plot it on the map but i'm happy to follow your lead as not too hot on routes round wales. Hence me asking for advice.
If your up for it maybe we should set the official date as Sunday 28th NOVEMBER 2010 (cleared this with the wife) and the start time of 9am given the evenings getting darker sooner.
